$PLY -34.0% after Meta pulled Horizon Worlds outsourced contracts, abruptly cutting a key revenue stream.
$RDY +21.6% after knocking back a takeover approach, saying the offer materially undervalued the business.
$14D +33.3% on a push into defence and aerospace, adding a heavyweight advisory board spanning Lockheed Martin, GE Aviation and ex-Pentagon leadership.
$SYR +16.2% after Tesla stepped back from terminating its anode material supply deal, easing a major overhang.
$BLG +20.7% after fresh funding to scale its GaN laser business.
Elsewhere, $VMC +37.2% and $SKK +36.8% surged on no news, while $KTK +20.3% also caught strong momentum bids.

Laggards: $RMD -7.6% tracking offshore weakness; $DRO -8.6% on broker downgrades; $LLC -5.5% after asset sale details and loss guidance weighed on sentiment.
